| Aim of the study: This study is aimed to assess the types and the frequency of congenital heart disease among patients with Down syndrome (DS).

Most of the cases were isolated congenital heart disease (CHD).Ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonic stenosis (PS) and atrial septal defect (ASD) were the commonest isolated CHD respectively while tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and single ventricle was the commonest complex CHD in DS.
